they are intended to measure battery in your car or just to check your bulb lamp for internal break. If you're want to see the real voltage, or to perform more precise measurements, you're needs a good multimeter.

Two or more... if need be  >:D

I also recommend going for a bench multimeter given the specifications for very low resistance modes.

For the high voltage diode test, however, you can get by with simple circuits around the web and/or the small testers from China.


If bench meters are hard to find, I would try what others mentioned: get two UT61E meters (quite decent resolution and features) and assemble your own 4-wire tester using one meter as ammeter, another as voltmeter and paired with a decent power supply.

If you prefer to go at lower price, I would go for a pair of UT139C, UT136B/C or Mestek DM91A (slow continuity, though). Prices on these models fluctuate, though.
